The eat-in kitchen takes you back to a simpler time, where preparing for the event, the spaces to do it in, and the people around you were more important than the amenities available to achieve it. The kitchen currently offers numerous cabinets and storage options, a breakfast nook, multiple prep-zones, and an adjacent formal dining room. The main level primary bedroom with sitting area and ensuite takes advantage of the marina and the lawn and garden views with its many picture windows crowned with an arched palladium, and a cathedral ceiling adorning the space.

Stairs off the foyer lead to the upper-level sleeping quarters complete with two generously sized bedrooms, one with two walk-in closets, and a hall bath. The main level deck and patio area offers numerous zones for entertaining and enjoying the oasis that surrounds. The main deck is kept shaded by a motorized awning, the perfect vantage point to view the seasonal blooms of the gardens that abound. The gardening shed with potting bench is an inspirational place to plan, design and plant your next garden from, while listening to the sounds of the fountain splashing in the fishpond out front. This magical paradise, and well-loved home, is waiting for someone who sees its potential, and all it offers, with a desire and creativity to continue its story. The community of White’s Creek Manor offers a pool, tennis courts and a marina, and is a short drive to downtown Bethany with its boardwalk, restaurants, shopping, entertainment venues, Fenwick Island, and miles of beautiful beaches and coastal waterways, waiting to be explored.
